Biography
Mursili, born Urhi-Teshub, was the eldest son of Muwatalli II. He succeeded his father as king of Hatti in 1272 BC, and it reverted the capital from Tarhuntassa to Hattusa, undermining the power of his uncle Hattusili, governor of the northern provinces. Mursili left Hattusili in control of just one fortress, so Hattusili decided to rise up against Mursili, overthrowing him in 1267 BC at the end of a five-year reign. Mursili fled to Egypt, the enemy of the Hittites, where he disappeared.
